I've been effusive in my praise of the first-gen Mustang in previous posts. I think it fully deserves the credit. The original Mustang was one of the most important cars ever made, and its design still looks great today. The baby boomer generation must have seen it as sex on wheels compared to the hulking, staid sedans their parents drove.
So how do you sell the Mustang to young people? Simple: you make the most boring commercial you possibly can. Wait, what?
That's exactly the approach Ford took when they made this ad, and it is quite possibly the most boring ad for a sporty car that I have ever seen. We see a young-ish stylist slaving over blueprints, striving to give the car a look of "total performance." Then the narrator goes on and on about the padded instrument panel, the sculpted side panels, the round rear openings and BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Get to the point, skip. I want to hear about engines and horsepower quotes. I want to see the car driving really fast. I want to see the driver actually having fun!
Oh look, it's driving next to some horses. I think I just fell asleep in my cereal bowl.
Luckily, Ford didn't need great ads for the Mustang to be a hit. The car started a revolution almost overnight, and for that, we're all better off. All I know is that Don Draper wouldn't have signed off on this ad. Way too boring.
What do you think of this ad, and classic Mustangs in general?
Update: As a few of you astute folks have pointed out in the comments, this may have been a dealer training film rather than a TV ad. Good eye! But it's still boring. Really, really boring.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) ? Don Trachte's cowlick has been tamed. Mary Hall is no longer a towhead. Butch Corbett is still thin, but not the beanpole he once was. And Tom Paquin's carrot top is thinner and grayer.
Twenty or so people who were children when they posed in the 1940s and '50s for their neighbor Norman Rockwell in the Vermont town of Arlington are reuniting there Saturday to share their memories of the great American artist who once lived in their midst.
Rockwell captured scenes of everyday life in his paintings and illustrations for covers of the Saturday Evening Post, for the Boy Scouts and for its publication Boys' Life, art now considered the very definition of Americana. He would pay his neighbors $5 a pop to appear in Hallmark cards, in calendars and on magazine covers that ended up gracing the coffee tables and littering the tree houses of millions of magazine readers young and old.
"The Saturday Evening Post came out weekly, and we couldn't wait to get it to see what was on the cover," said Hall, who posed for Rockwell four times. "You could always recognize who it was."
She appeared as a blond girl wrapped in a quilt and being carried out of a flood by a Boy Scout in an image that became a cover of Boys' Life, and as a teenager in a skirt, white blouse, bobby socks and loafers on a Post cover from 1948. It was called "Christmas Homecoming" and showed people welcoming home a young man who's carrying a suitcase full of dirty laundry.
An estimated 300 people from the area modeled for Rockwell during his 14 years in the southern Vermont town. Of the 70 or so still living, the oldest is 93 (he can't make it to the reunion). Many still live in and around Arlington.
Among the models planning to join in is Mary Whalen, who posed for the popular image of a rugged-looking school girl with braids and a black eye, waiting outside a principal's office.
The former models have gotten together before, but this weekend is special. They have been invited to view a new gallery of Rockwell prints and memorabilia that is taking the place of a recently closed Rockwell museum. The new owners are treating them to a turkey lunch in honor of Rockwell's famous painting of an excited family gathered for Thanksgiving dinner.
"I think it's important that the models keep the tradition of the image that Vermont, Arlington in particular, was important in Norman Rockwell's biography. That while he lived in Arlington he did his best work, probably ... and his local models were Arlington people," said James "Buddy" Edgerton, 82, who lived next door to Rockwell, his wife and three sons and modeled for him at least a dozen times.
Rockwell was a full-fledged member of the town, attending school basketball games and square dances, and had a great sense of humor, his neighbors recall. But as one of America's foremost artists, he could be as precise as any high-fashion photographer.
He would first have the models photographed and then would sketch a drawing. Sometimes the session in his studio took minutes, sometimes several hours. He always had a pipe in his mouth, and he joked around with the kids to make them comfortable.
"Rockwell had these images in his head, and he wanted you to smile or be wide-eyed in a certain way. You have to be a little actor, you see, and I probably was a little embarrassed," said Trachte, who was 5 or 6 when he posed for a painting of a little boy and girl in pajamas, holding hands and peering up at Santa Claus. Years later, Trachte and his brother found a Rockwell hidden in a wall at his parents' house; "Breaking Home Ties" sold at auction in 2006 for $15.4 million.
Rockwell knew just what he wanted, instructing the children to sit or stand in certain positions with particular expressions and to wear certain clothing, often providing Scout uniforms, or in one case, the velvet outfit that Hall wore for the cover of an edition of the book "Little Lord Fauntleroy."
"I find his detail just amazing," said Hall, whose father was a real estate agent who sold Rockwell his first and second home in town.
She noted that Rockwell managed to paint the small piece of tape around her leg from a sprained ankle that appeared above her bobby sock: "He didn't miss the details."
Edgerton ? who went on to write the memoir "The Unknown Rockwell: A Portrait of Two American Families," about a farm boy growing up next door to the Rockwells ? modeled for his neighbor mostly as a Scout, with his image published in four calendars.
The last time he modeled was in 1964, after Rockwell had moved about 65 miles away to Stockbridge, Mass., now home to the Norman Rockwell Museum. Edgerton appeared as a Scoutmaster with his son, then 9, in a painting called "Growth of a Leader," showing four profiles of a Scout progressing from a child to an adult with a graying sideburn ? much like Edgerton has today.
"He was a wonderful guy," Edgerton said. "He made you feel you were the most important person in the world when you were doing it."

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) ? Saudi Arabia on Friday began expelling over a thousand Nigerian women on religious pilgrimage to the country because they had arrived without male guardians, the first time it sent back such a large group in enforcement of strict rules governing women.
The government ministry that oversees the Hajj pilgrimage said the 1,100 women had violated a longstanding law by travelling without an immediate male relative, adding that females of all nationalities under the age of 45 must have a male guardian during the Hajj pilgrimage.
"This is a rule that is generally applied to women who have applied for a visa to enter the kingdom," the Hajj ministry said in a statement.
In Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to travel without a male guardian, such as a father, brother, uncle or husband, or at the very least permission from such a relative. In the past, authorities had allowed women over 45 to perform the annual pilgrimage without the guardians as long as they were in groups with male tour operators and pilgrimage officials.
The annual pilgrimage, which this year comes at the end of October, is a religious duty for Muslims who are supposed to make the trip once in their lives. Many arrive weeks in advance.
The expulsions may set the stage for a diplomatic confrontation.
Nigeria's pilgrimage commission says a bilateral agreement exempts its female nationals from the rule, and the country is sending a delegation to Saudi Arabia to discuss the expulsions. They also say some women have been turned back because they appeared to not have sufficient proof of being married despite being accompanied by their husbands.
The women, who arrived in the city of Jiddah in three groups, were held after landing at the international airport starting Monday. Saudi authorities said they would be allowed to return if they came back with guardians, but did not signal any flexibility or recognize the Nigerian claim of an exemption to the guardianship rules.
"The rules of Hajj have been in place for many years and nothing has emerged that requires us not to abide by them," said Hatem bin Hassan Qadi, deputy Hajj minister. He added that he hoped pilgrimage commissions around the world abide by the requirements of the trip before pilgrims' departure.
Rules limiting the independence of Saudi women are far-reaching in the kingdom. They may not study abroad unless a male guardian approves and accompanies them throughout their studies. Government-run hospitals perform surgery on women only with approval of a male guardian, except in emergencies. If a husband or father is not available, mothers turn to their sons for approval to work or travel.
More than 2 million Muslims descend on Saudi Arabia's Mecca for the pilgrimage, with around 1.5 million of them coming from outside the Gulf region.
Pilgrims often save their entire lives for the trip and Muslim philanthropists donate to enable those who cannot afford it. The Hajj, which lasts five days, costs anywhere between $4,000 upward to more than $25,000 per person.

LONDON (AP) ? Britain's Health Protection Agency has published an early genetic sequence of the new respiratory virus related to SARS that shows it is most closely linked to bat viruses, and scientists say camels, sheep or goats might end up being implicated too.
So far, there are no signs the virus will be as deadly as SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, which killed hundreds of people, mostly in Asia, in a 2003 global outbreak.
In Geneva, WHO spokesman Glenn Thomas told reporters Friday that so far the signs are that the virus is "not easily transmitted from person to person" ? but analyses are ongoing.
Global health officials suspect two victims from the Middle East may have caught it from animals.
"It's a logical possibility to consider any animals present in the region in large numbers," said Ralph Baric, a coronavirus expert at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "Biologists now need to go into the area and take samples from any animals they can get their hands on, including camels and goats," he said. Baric said it was crucial to find out how widespread the virus is in animals and what kind of contact might be risky for people.
Baric suggested bats might be spreading the virus directly to humans since the two confirmed infections happened months apart. "If there was an established transmission pattern from other animals, we probably would have seen a lot more cases," he said.
The World Health Organization said it is considering the possibility the new coronavirus sickened humans after direct contact with animals. The agency is now working with experts in the Middle East to figure out how the two confirmed cases got infected but could not share details until the investigation was finished.
One patient was a Saudi Arabian man who died several months ago while the other is a Qatari national who traveled to Saudi Arabia before falling ill and is currently in critical but stable condition in a London hospital.
Earlier this week, WHO issued a global alert asking doctors to be on guard for any potential cases of the new respiratory virus, which also causes kidney failure.
Saudi officials have already warned that next month's annual Muslim Hajj pilgrimage, which brings millions to Saudi Arabia from all around the world, could allow the virus to spread. As a precautionary measure, they are advising pilgrims to keep their hands clean and wear masks in crowded places.
Experts said knowing where a virus comes from provides clues on how to stop it.
"This means we could prevent the fire before it starts instead of rushing towards it with fire trucks and water hoses afterwards," said Michael Osterholm, an infectious diseases expert at the University of Minnesota.
Osterholm said it was possible bats had simply passed on the virus from other animals and that there could be a complicated transmission chain that ultimately ended in humans.
Viruses reproduce as they infect animals and people, giving them more chances to evolve into a deadlier version.
"We don't know enough about coronaviruses to predict which mutations might make them more lethal or transmissible," Osterholm said. "But you don't want to tempt genetic fate with microbes because you're bound to lose most times."

In previous Customer Spotlight videos, we?ve talked to several businesses using email marketing in their daily workflow ? a wine school, an SEO firm, a restaurant.
Today?s spotlight is a bit different. Rather than a typical for-profit business, we wanted to check out how a non-profit used email marketing.
Enter CONCERN, a non-profit foster care agency. Their Willow Grove, PA branch just happens to use AWeber for their email marketing needs, but then again, just how does a non-profit use email marketing (marketing, after all, is usually associated with for-profit companies)?
CONCERN helps foster kids and parents with a variety of placement, counseling and residential programs. We sat down with Diane Devlin (CONCERN?s Willow Grove Regional Director) and Rachel Acquaviva (CONCERN?s Willow Grove Office Supervisor) to find out how CONCERN uses email for their day-to-day business needs.
As you just saw, the potential of email marketing is not just limited to a for-profit business. Whether you?re running a charitable organization, an educational institution or a foster care center, email marketing can help you reach out and raise support from people interested in your content.
Do you have any cool stories that you?d like to share about your business in email? Tell us about it. Who knows, you could be the next one featured as an AWeber Customer Spotlight!

So, you're pulling up the old, dingy carpet in your living room when -- whoopsies! -- you accidentally damage the floor. What do you do? Well, duh, you patch it up, right? That's not the memo Matthew Cole got.
"I thought, what a lot of wasted area," Cole, 35, recalled of the time in 2003 when he was ripping up the carpet in his Colorado Springs home. "It would be cool to do something with it."
And that's how it all started: a simple carpet replacement job snowballed into an outrageous DIY project -- that ended three months later with a hot tub in the middle of his living room.
As Cole looked at a small hole that was left in the living room floor after he ripped up the carpet, he began to get ideas.
"It escalated pretty quickly," he said. "One of my friends had recently gotten a hot tub, so I thought, why not put a hot tub out there?" (Story continues after the gallery below.)
But then there was the issue of the floor itself: Condensation from the hot tub would rot the wood. Solution? Tile the whole floor.
Cole and his friends laid slate tile on the living room floor while continuing to prep the hole for the hot tub. Once the concrete platform was dry, they laid a layer of cinder blocks to achieve the perfect height for the hot tub. Then, it came time to install the hot tub.
"We lowered it down kind of like a coffin," Cole said. "That's when I realized what we were doing."
The reality hit him: Yes, there was a hot tub in his living room. But it was the point of no return. And, hey, since they'd gone that far, why not go even farther?
"The fireplace just didn't go," Cole said. The brick fireplace in front of the new hot tub area stuck out like a sore thumb against the slate tile. So he began to recover it with fake stone. Finally, he removed the glass doors covering the hearth of the fireplace and placed a TV there.
After three months of work, Cole had transformed his living room into a unique party area. And it caused quite the stir among his circle of friends.
"All my married friends thought it was a bad idea, and all my single friends loved it," Cole said.
He had planned to install a high-capacity exhaust fan in the living room along with a humidistat to control the humidity from the hot tub. But, he said, he never needed to.
"The hot tub doesn't generate the kind of steam that people think," he said.
Cole has moved since his 2003 hot tub project, but the crazy home feature has helped him rent out his Colorado Springs pad. He said that his renter loves it and uses it all the time.
"My renter had a party there last year and has funny pics of everyone in the hot tub."

From Glenn Greenwald, a must-read:
A vitally important and thoroughly documented new report on the impact of Obama?s drone campaign has just been released by researchers at NYU School of Law and Stanford University Law School. Entitled ?Living Under Drones: Death, Injury and Trauma to Civilians From US Drone Practices in Pakistan?, the report details the terrorizing effects of Obama?s drone assaults as well as the numerous, highly misleading public statements from administration officials about that campaign. The study?s purpose was to conduct an ?independent investigations into whether, and to what extent, drone strikes in Pakistan conformed to international law and caused harm and/or injury to civilians?.
There is much more at the link.? And there is this:
?American progressives cheered loudly when a similar question was posed by Al Gore in a widely celebrated 2006 speech he gave on the Washington mall denouncing the Bush/Cheney assault on civil liberties:
??If the president has the inherent authority to eavesdrop on American citizens without a warrant, imprison American citizens on his own declaration, kidnap and torture, then what can?t he do???
What has always amazed me about that is that, there, Gore was merely decrying Bush?s mere eavesdropping on Americans and his detention of them without judicial review. Yet here Obama is claiming the power to decide who should be killed without a shred of transparency, oversight, or due process ? a power that is being continuously used to kill civilians, including children ? and many of these same progressives now actually cheer for that.
I praise Kevin Drum for his good work on this, but too many others cannot bring themselves to utter much protest or, for that matter, defense, if that is indeed their view.
On foreign policy, here are some related points (too polemic for my tastes but still some good points) and no I am not trying to suggest Romney would be superior on these issues nor am I endorsing any other candidate.

Clarksville, TN ? In the spring of 2006, Austin Peay State University?s literary journal, Zone 3, published the poem, ?Sway This Night,? by Pittsburgh native Helena Mesa. That work is now part of Mesa?s acclaimed new collection, ?Horse Dance Underwater,? which former Maryland Poet Laureate Michael Collier called a ?virtuosic first book? that leaves readers ?breathless, exhilarated and transformed.?
At 4:00pm on October 11th, Mesa will deliver a reading of her work at the APSU Honors Commons as part of the University?s Fall Visiting Writer?s Series. A book signing will follow the event, which is free and open to the public.
Mesa, the daughter of Cuban parents, grew up in Pittsburgh but later earned her Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Maryland. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Houston, and her poems have appeared in major literary journals, such as Third Coast, Indiana Review, Barrow Street and Poet Lore.
?Mesa?s poems are artfully suspended between lyric and narrative, between humans and animals, between Latin America and the U.S., between desire and the difficult of its fulfillment,? Guggenheim fellow and National Book Award-winning poet Mark Doty said. ??Horse Dance Underwater? is an inventive, musical and powerful debut.?

United Nations General Assembly at U.N. headquarters in New York (Reuters/Mike Segar)
(16.6Mb) embed videoThe ongoing violence in Syria is the main issue at the 67th UN General Assembly. Despite calls by the UN chief to end the violence, Qatar urged an Arab-led military intervention in the country and Western leaders pledged support for rebel groups.
?The Security Council failed to reach an effective position. In view of this, I think that it is better for the Arab countries themselves to interfere,? said Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, the Emir of Qatar. Al-Thani urged neighboring nations to act ?out of their national, humanitarian, political and military duties? and bring an end to the violence in Syria.
Earlier, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani said in an interview with CNN that a no-fly zone over Syria is needed as a ?Plan B.?
Western leaders have taken a uniformly hard line on what they see as the need to oust Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. French President Francois Hollande called on the UN to immediately provide protection for Syrian opposition groups and rebel-held territories.
?I know one thing is certain: The Syrian regime will never again take its place in the council of nations,? Hollande said. ?Without any delay, I call upon the United Nations to provide immediately to the Syrian people all the support it asks of us and to protect liberated zones.?
?How many more deaths will we wait for before we act? How can we let the paralysis of the United Nations continue?? he said, likely alluding to three instances where Russia and China vetoed UN Security Council resolutions on Syria they deemed biased.
In August, France began channeling aid to Syria?s rebel-held regions. While Hollande called for Western and Arab countries to intervene in Syria, he also criticized Iran for doing just that: "It is clear that we have all the proof we need that Iran is intervening by human and material means in Syria, and this is unacceptable."
Hollande also reiterated his promise to recognize a ?provisional Syrian government,? a step that could lead to direct military support for the Syrian rebels.
US President Barack Obama leveled further harsh criticism against Assad: "As we meet here, we again declare that the regime of Bashar al-Assad must come to an end so that the suffering of the Syrian people can stop and a new dawn can begin.?
The US and its allies frequently call for sanctions and regime change in Syria. Other countries, like Russia and China, favor diplomacy.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon took a balanced stance, arguing in his opening statement that the international community must ?stop the violence and flows of arms to both sides, and set in motion a Syrian-led transition as soon as possible.?
UN and Arab League envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi expressed interest in ?maintaining active contacts? with Moscow, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister said after FM Sergey Lavrov held a bilateral meeting with Brahimi on the sidelines of the General Assembly. Russia invited Brahimi to Moscow in the coming months in the hopes of crafting a plan to resolve the Syria crisis.

ScienceDaily (Sep. 21, 2012) ? The tropical cyclones in the Arabian Sea during the pre-monsoon season (May -- June) have intensified since 1997 compared to 1979 -- 1997. This has been attributed to decreased vertical wind shear due to the dimming effects of increased anthropogenic black carbon and sulfate emissions in the region. The decrease in vertical wind shear, however, is not the result of these emissions, but due to a 15-day on average earlier occurrence of tropical cyclones, according to a study spearheaded by Bin Wang at the International Pacific Research Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa and published in "Brief Communications Arising" in the September 20, 2012, issue of Nature.
"About 90% of the pre-monsoon tropical cyclones occur during a small widow in late spring. The mean date during which the cyclones with maximum intensity occur has advanced from June 8 in the earlier period to May 24 in the second period," explains Bin Wang. "This advance has been accompanied by a significant decrease in vertical wind shear, which leads to tropical cyclone intensification, because large vertical wind shear is most destructive to intensification."
"The ultimate reason for this earlier occurrence of storms and their intensification is the tendency we have noticed for the southwesterly monsoon to begin earlier in recent years," says Wang. "This earlier monsoon onset is related to the greater warming of the Asian landmass than the ocean and thus an increased temperature ocean-land contrast over the last years. This greater temperature difference may strengthen the monsoon and create more favorable conditions for the formation of tropical cyclones."
"All the changes that we see in the pre-monsoon storms and the earlier monsoon onset since the late 90s, can be the result either of natural variability, namely the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation, or of warming effects due to greater greenhouse gas emissions, but not the effect of increased aerosols. Only time and more research will tell."

Advertising on the Internet is a quick and effective way to get your business out there. There are many different ways a person may advertise, but sooner or later the goal is for them to reach a website. When choosing and name for the url name of the company, people tend to go down two routes. The first is using a url name which describes the nature of the business, for example www.bankruptcy-lawyers.com. The second option is using the actual name of your company, such as www.kirkpatrickandassociates.com. Which ever way you go, the important thing is to choose something which will easily stick in the minds of people.

Using website content is a key online business strategy to boost traffic and to generate product, company, or service awareness, and to improve a site?s online presence. The effectiveness of written content creation, in particular, will depend upon the right strategy being used ? regardless of whether the business is an online one, or a bricks and mortar type.
Content Types
Text: When addressing a target audience with a direct message, it?s the written word that remains a favourite option. Articles which utilize the language, expressions, terms and words unique to a particular industry, niche or market automatically set the context and tone of the message. With this kind of content, impeccable grammar is of the highest priority, followed closely in importance by the proper structuring of sentences and paragraphs in order to command audience attention and send clear messages.
Images: Photos, diagrams, infographics and computer-generated graphics attract the human eye and help to deliver a message by illustrating an organization?s products, services, concepts and ideas.. Such image content must be high quality in design, composition, colour and clarity.
Videos: The ever popular use of video on the Internet serves a variety of purposes from providing product or procedural demonstrations, to giving a face to either a business or product, to teaching classes half way around the world to generating a buzz in social networking platforms.
Infographics: Images accompanied by small amounts of text referred to as infographics are the latest Internet and media craze. Infographics are an increasingly popular, visual way to relay information, data and sometimes complex concepts and messages. Conveniently eliminating the obvious sales pitch, infographics can be utilized to effectively share a company?s story in a creative and entertaining way.
Standard original content can also be leveraged into other forms of content like:
- Microsites ? White papers ? Webinars or webcasts ? Branded content tools ? Research reports ? Traditional media ? Print magazines ? Digital magazines ? Mobile content ? Podcasts ? eBooks ? Print newsletters
Purpose Of Content Creation
Information is the core of content creation ? in regards to what an organizations wants to share with its audience and intended customers. With information sharing, businesses can grow brand awareness, boost customer numbers, develop and maintain positive relationships with current clients. Content can also be leveraged for other objectives, including:
- The engagement of employees via company blogs ? Easy recruiting through organisation web pages which are highly representative of the company?s vision, direction and goals ? Greater business development, especially when such content is shared between businesses (B2B)
Keys To Successful Content Creation
Identify The Audience: To send an appropriate and effective message a business must correctly identify the audience with whom it is delivering the information.
Style Guide: To develop a business? over all brand and ensure the same message is being delivered through each method and channel being utilized, content consistency is critical. To establish consistency in a message, style elements must be decided upon before creation begins. These elements include the tone, words to be used, and choice of language.
New Content: Just like produce sold in a market, online content must be fresh if it is to attract the attention of the target audience, and encourage them to return for more relevant information in the future.. Unique content also needs to be insightful so that it provides information that readers will find useful and want to learn more about. In this age of information, content is not just about what the business wants to relay, but rather, what the audience or searchers want or need. As a tool for marketing, content must now convey the value of the business and its services and products to the targeted consumer in a manner that?s informative. Once they appreciate the value of a business, the audience will take the next step ? following a ?call to action? more easily.
Ongoing Development: Just as consumer behaviour undergoes changes, so too do market conditions ? which need to meet new challenges and increased competition. This requires the creation of new content to keep the consumer informed. Those who create this type of content should also undertake continuous learning by researching quality sources of authoritative information to be used in the new content. This self-education results in new approaches and aspects to write about while offering a way to build on previously acquired information, allowing the content creator to enhance their authority and credibility with the audience.
Reusing Content: With imagination, creativity and resourcefulness, old content can have new life breathed into it. Repurposing or reusing content can come in the form of images being converted into slide show presentations, video clips can be arranged as part of a webinar series, and text entries can be incorporated into newsletters and eMagazines.
Ideally, the responsibility of content creation should only be assigned to a team or person who either has an understanding of your industry and establishment or who has the capacity to conduct the necessary research to learn about it. This understanding will be manifested in the way the material is written, revealing the creator?s comprehension of your services? or products? unique strengths, selling points and current market trends.
While many large organizations provide their clients content creation services through an in house development team, it?s important to remember that aside from adequate service/product knowledge and writing skills, such staff members must also have a solid grasp of best practices regarding SEO (search engine optimization). Perhaps more importantly, they need to be motivated to expend the time that is needed to stay up to date with changing trends in premium content creation.
An growing number of businesses, online and offline, contact me to write unqiue content for them, continuing the growing global trend of outsourcing tasks such as this that require specific expertise.
Whether you have your own content writing staff or you commission a content writing service, it?s critical that they have full comprehension of the special strategies that need to be used in the online business world.

Home improvement projects make images of buckets filled with paint, dust, construction, and other stressful thoughts. While this is one type of home improvement project, not all are so involved. Start with small things, like remodeling a guest bathroom, to see if it is something that you have the capacity for.
When you are selecting a paint color for your home, be sure to make use of a light box or the sample cards at the hardware store. Many paint colors appear different under natural lighting, fluorescent lighting (common in most retail establishments), and incandescent lighting. You will be more pleased with your final choice if you make sure the color is what you expect once you take it home.
Make sure that you seal the grout after you have laid the tile. Grout is porous. If you do not seal it, moisture can seep into the grout, promoting mold and mildew. Unsealed grout also stains easily. If you seal the grout, not only will it save you time in cleaning your tiles, but it can potentially save you money in costly repairs resulting from mildew problems.
If the closets in your home are not very large, it would be a excellent thought for you to use organizers if you are trying to sell your home. Doing so will make the closets in your home seem much larger and a lot of buyers will bypass homes that seem to have too small space.
You need to lay down drop clothes or ancient sheets when you are going to be painting a room. Many people do not realize how hard it can be to get up paint once it has splattered onto a carpet or hard wood floor. Laying down covering is a quick and simple fix that can make a huge difference.
If you have a broken glass window, you can try this temporary solution to prevent bugs from entering. Use a bit of plastic cling wrap over the broken area to close the opening. Secure it with a bit of tape to make a better seal. This is really a temporary solution and should not be used long term.
If your shower and bathtub seem to be building up mildew, or leaking a small bit, it may be time for you to re-caulk. Removing your ancient caulk and putting in new should really be done once a year as your typical bathroom maintenance. You can buy calk from any hardware store for a very reasonable price.
One of the smallest improvements to your home with the largest impact is a deep cleaning of the house. Spending the time to clean every section of your house will improve the overall smell, look, and environment of your home. A thorough cleaning is often overlooked as a cost effective method of home improvement.
If you are in need of space in your bathroom, you know that the two things taking it up are usually the bathtub and the sink. Opt to install a pedestal sink in a small bathroom instead of one with cabinets on the bottom. It not only gives your bathroom an expensive appearance, but also frees up much needed space.
We have a home which is over 100 years ancient and updating it has been an ongoing process over the past five years. We have a new dining room, two new bathrooms and half of a new kitchen. Recently, my husband installed four new windows and place new siding on half of the house. I can?t wait for the whole thing to be done!

Pittsburgh?police said they had serious concerns when an armed man took a business owner hostage in a downtown high-rise office building ? and not just because he had a knife.
The suspect, 22-year-old Klein Michael Thaxton, made Facebook posts during the five-hour ordeal Friday, authorities said, and they feared that responses from friends, family and others might goad him into violence.
In the end, police say, Thaxton surrendered peacefully and released businessman Charles Breitsman.
Now police believe that Thaxton might have chosen Breitsman because he spotted a smartphone and computer in his office and saw a high-profile opportunity to express himself on the social networking site, Chief Nathan Harper said.
Thaxton was arraigned early Saturday on felony charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault and making terroristic threats. He remains jailed on $1 million bail.
Harper said authorities might never know the reason Thaxton decided to take a hostage.
"We will leave that to the mental professionals to figure that out and get the man some help," Harper said. Thaxton will automatically receive a mental health review because of the charges.
Thaxton told police he left a halfway house about 3 a.m. Friday carrying a kitchen knife, hammer, cellphone and charger. After meandering through various neighborhoods, Thaxton arrived downtown at about 7 a.m. and briefly considered attacking two separate traffic officers with the hammer so he could steal their guns, police said.
"It makes me feel powerful when I have a gun," Harper said Thaxton told police.
Deciding he might get shot in the process, Thaxton instead sat and munched on a candy bar and noticed women streaming into a 24-story high-rise, police said. Without any particular goal, Thaxton took an elevator to two upper floors, found he couldn't get around without an electric key card and went down to the 16th floor.
That's where Thaxton saw the financial firm CW Breitsman Associates and the owner's name on the door. He also saw a smartphone, TV and computer and "felt this was the office where he needed to be," Harper said.
Except for the electronics, Thaxton's choosing the office was "totally random," Harper said, noting Thaxton didn't know Breitsman or his firm, which handles union pensions and insurance funds.
Police initially believed Thaxton had a gun because he told police negotiators he was going to shoot the victim. Instead, he threatened Breitsman with the knife, sat across a table from him breathing threats and, otherwise, used Breitsman's phone and computer to post mostly forlorn Facebook messages, police said.
"i cant take it no more im done bro," said one post.
"this life im livin rite now i dnt want anymore," another post said. "ive lost everything and I aint gettin it back."
Thaxton has been in legal trouble in recent months, pleading guilty in January to robbery for a carjacking last year. That crime was apparently on his mind, Harper said, because his carjacking victim was a woman and Thaxton told police the only other reason he picked Breitsman was that "he didn't want to victimize another female."
Thaxton was sentenced to six to 12 months in jail by the county's newly established court to help veterans with mental health and substance abuse issues. It wasn't immediately clear how Thaxton's service record contributed ? if at all ? to his mental health problems because he never saw active duty.
Instead, records show Thaxton served as a private in the U.S. Army from December 2008 to June 2010. The Army said he trained at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri before being assigned to Fort Riley in Kansas.
Whatever the motivation, Thaxton felt a need to call attention to his feelings through Facebook and told police he watched coverage of the hostage situation on his victim's TV.
Initially, police wanted the Facebook page kept open, hoping to gain useful information, but they later asked Facebook to take it down so that Thaxton could focus on conversations with police negotiators.
Most of the 700 or so responses to Thaxton's posts were from friends or family expressing their love. But a few were "ridiculous" and others were "outright distasteful," Harper said. Police were still sifting through them Friday, but Harper said any posters who authorities determine urged Thaxton to harm Breitsman or himself could eventually face charges, too.
Thaxton eventually told police negotiators he wanted to speak with an ex-girlfriend whom he hadn't seen since 2008. After shutting down the Facebook page and getting the woman on the phone to speak with Thaxton, he surrendered peacefully.
Breitsman was interviewed by detectives at police headquarters but left through a back door to avoid the media. He didn't return calls to his home Friday. Harper said the man was doing fine though "quite shaken."
Facebook didn't comment on the hostage-taking but referred reporters to a Web page that says it sometimes shares information with law enforcement if necessary to "prevent imminent bodily harm" to someone.
Some of the social network's nearly 1 billion users boast about their criminal exploits on Facebook, making it easier for law enforcement to catch them. Just last month, a woman charged with posing as a nurse and kidnapping a newborn at a Pittsburgh hospital was tracked down using messages she posted about her faked pregnancy on Facebook.
In Thaxton's case, Facebook didn't completely explain his actions nor would he as he was led past reporters at police headquarters.
Instead he grinned and ignored their questions saying, "I can't hear you, bro."
